I don't think everyone else realizes how long it takes for many people to get their Axel, either.

Just because its hard, doesn't mean its a sport

Obviously it's a sport, but not because it involves have a difficult move. Sports aren't given that title because they're difficult.

of course figure skating is a sport. sequins, speed, grace, beauty-- and the chance that, at any moment, someone could obliterate every tendon in their knees. what else is there?

It HAS a set scoring system, the IJS. It also sets up competitions that are judged by officials who have to go through strict training, and testing, which is also judged and scored. Figure skating requires flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, and a strong cardiovascular system. Anyone who thinks it's not a sport is uneducated and prejudiced.

It has a judge that decides how many points you get, so no, not a sport. Thats like saying algebra is a sport.
